>>27623136This but its also humid and ocean air. The creeping damp.
Tight squeeze, cool breeze.Have to make some new j hooks because $189 for an Aluminimum batt box is absurd.
>>27623497I know that feel, replaced my original Panasonic OEM battery after 10 years of faithful service with an AGM and the j hooks were too long. I have since jammed a piece of lumber between the top of the battery and the strap that holds it to the tray.
>>27623296>The creeping damp.Anybody try coating their underbody in penicillin?>>27623497>>27623544I usually just leave the thing loosely goosey, saying I'll drive careful until I get the straps figured out and then forgetting about it entirely and hooning anyway. No engine fires so far but ymmv.
>>27623497Like the updates. Makes me want to get around to finding a good accessory fuse box. The only real bolt in option wants me to relocate the clutch reservoir which I don't want to do seeing that it's fucking dumb.

Well since I'm not using my front swaybar brackets for anything I guess that's a good place to ground the alt to the frame. Need to add an engine to frame ground next. Unless since the alt case is grounded to the engine through its bolts does this count as grounding the frame to the engine too? >>27623544Weird my hooks are too short.

What do you rejects think about w150s for off road>inb4 np208 h8 i have a spare one in my shed dont worry
>>27624512Clearly you aren't familiar with the tranny cooler line routing and tranny filling process for the FJ Cruiser. It is anything but simple. Replacing the entire transmission might actually be easier.
>>27625607why would you even ask such a silly question
>>27625613because>tiny ass bolts holding ujoint caps>most had no lsd>depending on trim super shitty rear axle>np208>most had 318 autouhhh idk really after this rather simple trucks really
>>27625589God damn it
>>27625610Yup
>>27625613That specific NP208 has a housing bolt pattern shared by no one else.They actually took the bolt pattern and flipped it like 60 degrees or some shit so the gasket would work but you cant swap between a Ford or Mopar (if I'm remembering this correctly, shoot me if it's dodge that did it).So if you need a donor you have to find like a 78-85 or whatever 208 whereas the other 2 can use an NP20X or Borg Warner from any year and it will bolt up.
>>27626210Sorry, been drinking.Swap GM references (never mentioned but implied) with Dodge.
>>27625649Stick your tongue on it.
>>27626237Wife said no kissing other girls
>>27622927Got hit in an accident in my Volkswagen GLI. Recently bought a 2010 Ford F-150 5.4 3v FX4. Got it in North Dakota and drove it back to Montana were I immediately replaced the rear wheel seals, differential fluid, diff gasket, diff cover, new trans fluid, an oil change later and sent it up to White Sulphur off-roading. Absolutely hands down one of the best vehicles I have ever owned.
Many urethanes now secure the sway bar.
>>27625589The hell you need all those voltelateages for anyway
>>27626715Need?
>>27626210I'm pretty sure you can swap between Ford and Dodge for the np208 if I am remembering right. But yeah transfer case interchangeability always struck me as retarded. Like how hard would it of been to get together and agree on a spline input on popular cases. I'm also mad that no became nv because gm has to ruin everything
Any recommendations for something affordable and used? Anything toyota is automatically out the window, people selling 4runners and tacomas here with 150k miles on them for 30k+.the only lexus gx 470s within 500 miles of me are two decades old at this point and people are selling them for 35k - ish with nearly 200k miles.offroading blew up here since covid and anything thats relatively big and capable is pretty much fucked. I'd also like to avoid jeeps, because the only jeeps I've ever been around have been heinously unreliable trash cans. I won't be rock crawling, but I do need clearance, preferably 4wd and hopefully enough space to sleep in.
>>27627590Xterras if you can find them, but you can't around me anymore, they all got bought up during covid. Theres like 10 and they are all in bad shape, lmao.Frontiers however are also a solid/cheap choice, people don't like them because they are dated as fuck looking and have no tech, but you can find 2020 pro 4x models with low mileage for 24k or less. The bed is only 5' so don't think you could sleep in in though unless you leave the gate down and don't give a fuck. I would, in the desert at least.
>solid front axle, or are you an IFS larperYes.jpg>>27627590Covid ruined everything outdoors and thanks to the internet turning everyone into some fuckhead grifter they all know wut dey got. You gotta have cash ready and be hounding the ads everyday. Setup alerts for models you’re interested in and be ready to buy that afternoon in the event some non-shithead posts something cool up for sale. Believe it or not it still happens once in a while within 50 miles of your town
>>27627590I sent it on subaru forester with turbo, got the tires changed out, been fine so far. I'm in Colorado, some of these 14er trail heads have been quite sus, but nothing super strenuous.Practically impossible to find anything reasonable with 4wds since covid.
>>27626703*squeak*
This probably is stupid but /org/ might have some common sense on the subject. I need new tires for my model s p85 (no dual motors) on 19 inch wheels and it seems most tires do not last so I was thinking of just going cheap but pic rel caught my eye. Still cheap and they might actually work out better for my driving needs. I drive on silt, sand, dirt, and most of the time the road, only occasionally through mud. I have seen people with them on model y teslas but nothing on a model s.
>>27627723Bad in cold weather.You're probably incorrectly inflating your tyres too. Look up the chalk test.
>>27627723What's the weight vs the oem tires? Probably not worth it, just get some road tires with the mud/ snow rating and call it good.
>>27627712Yeah I heard about the squeak problem, so I made sure to goober them up as much as possible on all surfaces in a polyurethane safe grease. Hopefully the grease will stay on there for a good while. They did stiffen up the handling a response a fair amount so I'm happy about that.
>>27627703>Practically impossible to find anything reasonable with 4wds since covid.I agree it's gotten worse (what hasn't) but you guys aren't looking hard enough. Still gems out there. XJs that need a little work are still cheap. YJs that need a little work are still cheap. Xterras are going up in price now but can still be found cheap in the right places. Old Mitsubishis, Suzukis, S10s are still out there.
>>27627768I hardly do cold weather and tire pressure is good, just they don't last that long and are already at 3/32nds. Pic rel is what I have on there currently and are good tires just expensive for 30k miles.Set of 4 Michelin primacy mxm4 = $1674Set of 4 falken wildpeaks = $1059Set of 4 lexani lx-twenty = $541Falkens have a 65k mile warrantyMichelins have a 45k mile warranty Lexanis have a 30k mile warranty
>>27627781Looks like an extra 3lbs a tire
>>27627897You're trying to min/max tires like a spec class race circuit that limits how many tires you can buy in a season.You're not a racecar driver.You're not scaling MOAB.You're not crossing the Sahara.If you drive so aggressively on the street that the difference in tire performance can be noticed in your stopping distance then you need to suck start a shotgun.The cheapest tires at Walmart will do everytbing the tires you listed will do.
>>27628149>You're trying to min/max tires like a spec class race circuit that limits how many tires you can buy in a season.Do you know what is cheaper than a jew? A scot and an antisemite. Besides I am just being autistic about it, as a daily I want a good reliable tire that will last. I care less about stopping distance and more on the handling and maintaining traction when I have to drive in the desert during storms since I am often driving on/off backroads. Other concerns are road noise, comfort, and since it is an ev the difference in range the tires cause.
>>27628149I like shotguns
>>27627897Get 5 tyres and rotate in your spare every oil change to stretch the mileage. Get a 60k mile tyre too.
>>27628289>MTWish I was rich bros

>>27628347Different M/T but those are technically more "aggressive" than my Mickey A/Ts kek.Those side cutters don't look like they'd do much though.

can someone give me an overview of SxS for forest off-road trails/light rock crawling? what brands/models are good? what should be avoided? I'm looking for something for exploring 400acres on my neighbours and my property, just want low speed with the ability to drive over logs/rock gardens/boulders and climb steep bits with the help of a winch
>>27622927Been doing some research, thinking of an old Frontier, an FJ, and an Xterra, all three within my price range, the FJ being the most out there, but I can't decide. The Xterra seems like a good price/performance.

>>27631057Magwell grip is popular for close quarter combat training like room clearing.Shorter grip radius between the two hands = faster side to side movement.Holding the weapon farther out has the opposite effect which means less point of aim shift with ranged targets.I would say it's a well trained squad that's covering the standard 5m, 15m and 50m kill zones.

Current daily is a gen 3 4runner with 290k miles. Love the thing, but I'm at the point where I'm dumping money into it just to keep.it running more frequently.Seriously considering buying a gen 2 4runner with 175k on itWould it be a mistake?
>>27631761As your daily? Yeah that wouldn't be a great idea. As a secondary? Excellent idea.Parts availability is gonna be more of a concern the older you go, plus rust and dry rot are now considerations on everything like weatherstripping/window seals, etc.
>>27631774>plus rust and dry rot are now considerations on everything like weatherstripping/window seals, etc.I've got that problem on mine. The frame is pretty solid, but the brake drums are chewed through and the lines concern me. The gen 2 I'm looking at looks mint, the guy took care of it. Haven't seen the frame on it yet tho.
>>27631782If it looks too good to be true it probably is. Short of him or a previous owner doing a full on restoration, there's probably some hidden shit going on. Frame is #1 concern but on any vehicle that age and mileage basically be prepared for the engine to grenade at any moment, so many unknowns from its lifetime.I generally buy vehicles when they're relatively new, i.e 5-6 years old, then keep them forever. That way I have a fairly good idea of everything they've gone through in their lives.
>>27631637That'll do
>>27631794Yeah, my other consideration is a 2015 Tacoma, I just love old pieces of shit. Hell it's hard coming to terms with selling mine but the repairs are just piling up. I'm at a good spot atm but in the near future I'll need to swap the engine, and then likely transmission and lines soon after.Would be a great project car I just don't have the time or the means right now
>>27631794this but for women
>>27631811If you do get a Taco stick with 2015 or earlier, they still came with the 4.0 which is rock solid.
Be honest with me bros. How sketchy are highway speeds really with no sway bar?
>>27631819Not bad if you don't have to make any turns and there's no wind. But if you have either of those things, or both, you will not be super happy.
>>27631816Not familiar with the newer ones, what's wrong with them?
>>27631825>tfw have to deal with both almost dailyRIP
>>27631827They switched to a 3.5 V6 in 2016. Toyota says it'll give you 278hp vs the 260hp of the 4.0. But like any smaller displacement engine they've had to cope. It's got direct injection, this bothers some people. Lack of low end torque means you're going to be hammering the throttle a lot more just to get going, might be less bothersome if you're used to driving sluggish vehicles. Has to work harder to get up into the power range, +5,000rpm for peak horsepower and about the same for peak torque. I've driven 4Runners, my FJ, older Tacos with the 4.0 and a 2022 Taco with the 3.5. The new Taco feels slower than all of them and weaker too, the gas pedal just felt like mush the whole time and I was thoroughly disappointed. That was in its stock form, so granted you can tune and mod it. But if you use it offroad you can factor in weight additions will only slow it down more, and low end torque is your best friend offroad. I'm just not sold on them personally, NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT BRUTHER. Plus the 4.0 is known to be very receptive to super charging, Toyota even offered a TRD supercharger kit for many years that pushed the 4.0 up to about 330hp from the original 240/260.
>>27631825can only imagine the reaction will be like when jeremy gets passed by a semi while he's driving his campervanhttps://youtu.be/I7g08nwEmyY?si=GM1hAEZ2bLaZVksL&t=25

Purely hypothetical question. If you were to build a gigantic truck emulating the style of the original Bigfoot, what is the biggest tire size + lift combination that would still be driveable (to an extent) on the street? The 66-inch tires monster trucks use now are out of the question, and while I love the look of the 48-inch tires the original Bigfoot had, I think they might stick out the side too far to be street-legal. I know 42-44s are all the rage with rock-crawling now. Any experts wanna weigh in?
>>27632067last i checked 54" is the biggest DOT tire available
>>27632065Ok bud I'll take a pic next time.
>>27631925Which truck?
>>27632067>>2763209358" mickey thompsons are the biggest currently
>>27632067I personally set 35" as a limit but my buddies have run 38.5's to 44's on their DD's.One has an '85 toyota on 44" super swampers (obviously it's like a 10 or 12 inch lift, I forget) and he gets on 3 wheels doing a U turn because the CG is so stupidly high.
>>27622948That's a beautiful fuckin truck
>>27632067Bigfoot I and II were so incredibly based
>>27631819It's not the "cruising down the highway" part.It's the "oh fuck I have to swerve at 80mph to avoid the couch that stupid redneck didn't strap down" part where you start to buy the sway bat christmas presents.
Thanks guys, this is good stuff.>>27632093>>27632110Sick, so the 48s seem pretty feasible then. I think I’d want a better tread than the old-school terra though. Those 58s are insane.>>27632115Yeah my family used to have a Jeep with a 4” lift and 37s which wasn’t too bad to DD. 44s on a Toyota truck is insane lol.>>27632118Hell yeah. My dream truck is a ‘77 Ford and I’ve always wanted to build one and basically copy the style of the original Bigfoot trucks. I don’t think I would go quite as extreme but I would want to get as close as I could while still having some semblance of off-road usability and being strong enough to handle the massive tires. Speaking of which, what axle would you need to handle, say, 48s? I don’t know if a standard Dana 44 would cut it, and I don’t know what Bigfoot used.
>>27632115I dd a truck with 37s. No huge maneuverability issues really. But I also drive like an old guy 99% of the time
>>27632132super duties need 37s to look proper nowadays

>>27632206>some guy raped my sister last week but he didn't today so we're coolYou're a spineless coward.He's a demented degenerate that should be shunned and driven from society like a plague carrier.He's the one who chose to post his sick lifestyle and fantasies, we didn't ask for it.If you are complicit then you are saying it's acceptable for "cummypaws" to be a part of this general and culture.
Do jeeps have enough clearance/accessibility to only need to use adjustable wrenches? I'm trying to keep my tools in one or two boxes/containers, and don't have room to double the amount of sockets I have.
>>27632284>I love my haters I enjoy your optimism and appreciate your good post.
>>27633054?
>>27633159>jeepGay
>>27633159If you're talking about repairs out on the trails then no. It's not just the type of clearance you have while sitting in the driveway- chances are when you break something offroad you'll be in a bad spot and have to fight rocks and ruts just to get to the broken component.Find a spot in the engine bay to strap a tool set to the fender. They actually make under hood lock boxes for jeeps but they're overpriced for what they are.Under seat.Bag on back of seat.Inside spare wheel.
>>27633223This is why the frunk and smugglers bay on the Cybertruck are so underrated, I can easily fit a full pelican case of tools and all my recovery gear in either.
>>27633246You're not repairing a cybertruck on the trail
>>27633269>you're not getting a cybertruck down a trailFtfy
>>27633297HELL YEA BROTHER
>>27633223Not really but that's not a bad idea either, I meant like clearance in the engine bay and working on the vehicle in general. Like with my current car, I have to remove a lot of things just to have room to access components or even headlights, so it needs a decent variety of tools. I just don't want more stuff and it'd be nice to keep my tools together. But if all I needed was adjustable wrenches and screwdrivers it'd be a no brainer to get an old jeep.
>>27633374It's easier to "get to" a component just because by nature of design an old jeep is "open" but those components are still basically standardized Chrysler products- so a bleeder screw on a caliper is still tiny and buried in the wheel and leaf spring u-bolts are still buried in the axle perch.
>>27633374Yes, jeeps are easy to work on. >t.hanks, jeep owner
>>27632170I post one of my trucks in virtually every thread.For this thread its the Forest Ranger and has already been posted.Which one is your truck again?
>>27633483Nta, but I miss my ranger. It was a fun trugg
>>27633498I still have never driven this ranger (or any ranger actually).I've always done fullsize but picked up this thing because I've always wanted a little supercab 4x4 to just screw around with.I've just been slowly restoring it and making it the way I want.I was doing brakes then decided to do bushings then figured "since I'm already this deep in, might as well do u-joints in the TTB's".It just always spirals...
>>27633054Elon fired the entire marketing dept at Tesla. The old shills lost their jobs and now there's new ones trying new things.
>>27633528There's a 98% chance this is the truth.
>>27633518Mine was a 2wd. Max comfy for around town stuff. Sold it to a buddy of mine as a slight excuse to get my current truck that is 4wd
>>27633528I'm thinking about applying to work on his boats in canaveral. Seems like it's fun and has a good schedule
>>27633483>I post one of my trucks in virtually every thread.For this thread its the Forest RangerWhere?
>>27633584See>>27623056
>>27633584Now where's your truck?
>>27633619So the person with the ford ranger is the one shittng up the thread obsessing over the furry?
>>27633634>thinks there's only 1 person who despises the furfagI counted 5 just in the last thread.Still waiting to see your truck.
>>27633634No I also hate the furfag
I miss renegade anon. :(
>>27633634Since you're trying to decipher how this thread is going, let's clarify your position.>#1- you don't have a truck >#2- you think that "cummypaws" is an acceptable and normal screen name for a blue automotive board>#3- you think discussing sexual fetishes about animals is appropriate on a blue automotive board>#4- long time members of this board are crazy for noticing/remembering the furfag poster but there's no issue with the actual furfag poster.Anything else you wish to add?
>>27633756Why don't yall post your vehicles instead of arguing
>>27633769It's an image board.You can't complain if you don't post shit yourself. I have portals now so I'm better than all of you.
>>27633793Neat for what
>>27633725I don't
>>27633793And yes those .9" removable carriers are in aluminum housings.
>>27633793You gonna run 40s on um?
>>27633806Why not? He posted content and stayed relevant.
>>27633797I was going to steal the axles from an old Clod Buster for a tube chassis/4 link build but came across these so I'll restore the old Clod and keep it complete and just do a scratch build.
>>27633812spamming a shitbox is about as "relevant" as xterrafag spamming his cherokee after he "realized" IFS sucks
>>27633810Probably going to run 66's
>>27633866I just like people posting offroad related stuff. I'm not big into gate keeping

>>27633885That's cool man. Why care so much about others?It's OK for people to like different things. :)
>>27633806>>27633899this isn't offroading. this is some city slicker that found a mound of dirt to drive his car onto. gatekeeping protects hobbies. every sport and hobby that has no gatekeeping is eventually destroyed.
>>27633905Ok. Post your offroading and teach us all
>>27633916post yours
>>27633920Ohhhh, you're just trolling. Ok
>>27633916ok. i don't take many pictures.
>>27633958Looks like pretty manageable road to me
>>27633269>>27633297Haven't had to do a heavy trail repair yet, but the day will surely come eventually.
>>27633969Ok. But you're not fixing the CT or taking it offroad
>>27633963yes, if you have a rear lockerif it was wet it would be toughone of those pics that fails to show the steep-nessit even had a bypass. pathetic.
>>27634026Absolutely not. You don't even need 4lo for that.
>>27633708>I counted anonsAre you able to see IPs?
>>27634123It's just one anon who cries and spergs. The Nissan kid who just got a jeep
>>27633973I'm afraid that is incorrect
>>27634145I think you’re right, that kid is annoying.
>>27633944>can't post yoursok
Yep, it's the Nissan now jeep kid sperging. Like always
>>27634202>Nissan now jeep kid spergingwhere
>>27633528Your cherokee looks very nice, anon.
Any 40"+ light bars with high color accuracy? Like 90+ CRI?

He's posting stolen pics. Oh boy
This thread is moving 10x faster than the last one because everyone is fighting :-/

>>27634541Way more Toyotas are on the Rubicon than Jeeps outside of the Jamboree (in which they go out a few days before and stack rocks all over the place to make the trail as easy as possible). All earlier pre-Tacoma era pickups and 4Runners of course though, hardly see any IFS rigs on any trail around here (other than my Cybertruck). Lol at holding an offroad event in Texas though. That's like holding a mountain climbing competition in Florida.
>>27634541Is this a Toyota Rav4?
>>27622927Looking for a decent storm chasing car that can do light offroad to get around felled trees and shit. Lots of chasers use stuff like older Suburbans, Outbacks etc. How are they for that kind of task? Will they need mods or will they be fine stock?
>>27634555>Way more Toyotas are on the Rubicon than Jeeps outside of the Jamboreenot really, I live like 45 min from the rubicon in Reno also even with the rocks stacked as perfectly as possible the rubicon is still 100x harder than driving on a flat dirt lotpre tacoma pickups and 4runners are IFS 99.9% of time timethat's one of the things I always immediately check any time I see 80s body style Toyota, my eyes instantly go to the front axle to see what they got underneath and I'm always disappointed
>>27634541>jeep jamFuck yeah
>>27634576You may live in Reno but I've never seen you on the Con, I'm out there at least 4-5 weekends a year. The most common rig by far is a SFA Toyota pickup.

>>27634622Sold to fund this build
>>27634665I guess you realized the inherent limitations of such a build, smart man that's how I feel every time I drive my Toyota, I get disgusted by the inherent limitations and it makes me wanna sell it or crush it or something>>27634657mein niggagod I can't wait to get this thing done im even starting to work sober because im tired of fucking around and wanna go faster

>>27634679life is pain but we have jeeps and guns to make it better
>>27634672You're talking about this truck?>>27634576You could have that thing doing Fordyce for $5k, what do you think the limitation is?
>>27634698>You could have that thing doing Fordyce for $5k, what do you think the limitation is?there's no point trying to modify Toyotas when building jeeps is cheaper and parts are easier to getalso the 22r was absolute trash, first thing I got rid of was that engine
>>27634702IDK man, XJs aren't cheap like they used to be, and yeah it's a little easier/cheaper to build a mildly capable XJ than Toyota Truck but not by much. For doing actually hard trails like Fordyce and whatnot I promise you the Toyota is the best budget option.
>>27634683Fucking truth! I'll be back up innawoods trailing and shooting in a couple weeks
>>27634749I had to replace my ignition module (igniter) on the Toyota and it was 400 dollars for the new partI just put a chevy HEI module in it and fixed it for 20 bucksthat's a perfect example of what it's like to own a Toyota every single part of ownership is this wayalso, this XJ was 1200 dollars with brand new 33s on it from Facebook marketplace like 3 years ago and the xj I got before this was 600 and the one before that was 2500 but it was clean even things like 4 link kits and dual transfer cases, regear kits, carriers, axles etc all cost more for no apparent reason, I'm good on it
>>27634541>the vocal (and easily rustled) minority are squealing and we ran out of oilI'm stealing pics but he refuses to post his rig
Do you think it's worth the extra $250 for the maxxis buckshot? They're so kino.
>>27634890What vehicle
>>27634904 it's this one >>27633087. I don't daily drive it, so practicality/comfort is low priority. Current tires are from 2005 and I feel like I'm pushing my luck.
'06 SR5 HiluxAusfag here, rate my ute
>>27634970
>>27634622got the down pipe done tonight
>>27635150shit was so ridiculously tight to the starter and frame rail/firewall and bell housing that I had to cut my upper passenger side link off the frame and also smash the firewall in with a hammer to make it clear
>>27635152just barely cleared but now it's a home run to the back of the jeep
>>27634610show me more please.
>>27634970why is the hilux so crazy ugly.it's a decent rig but I can't get over it.
>>27635155Luckily the engine isn't mounted on rubber isolators that flex or anything....
>>27635283they don't flex that much also I'm just gonna make some more clearance my trash can is looking pretty epic with the last 2 days worth of empties in it, god I love this country
>>27635298also I made a tool from wire crimpers that restores the beaded edge on intercooler tubing after you cut it, works fucking amazing pic rel made a clean ass bead after cutting that tube
>scratch build>has to modify the firewall because shit doesn't fit.I stand by my "doesn't have experience or knowledge to plan a build from the beginning to end" comment.And you should probably get off the meth.
>>27635377The jeep was designed to have exhaust run down the driver side, the passenger side has no room for the exhaust Also I kept the stock trans crossmember mounting instead of moving it forward because I wanted to continue to use stock drive shafts, that way if I break one on a really far trip I can source one locally The entire point of the build is reliability, easy repairability and efficiencyI’m going 3 link long arm anyway so the upper link isn’t needed and people on the VW diesel forums said firewall clearance will require hammering for XJs so I was expecting it
>>27635384I could have moved the trans crossmember forward 2 inches and the exhaust would have fit better but I refuse because I really wanna have stock drive shafts, I plan on driving to Alaska and all over Canada with this truck so I want parts to be as available as possible Stock radiator, off the shelf prebent hoses, as many commonly available off the shelf components as possible so that if anything does break I won’t be fucked
>>27635394You could have rotated the turbo mounting flange so the exhaust wouldn't have hit shit at all but you're a fucking retard.Gi ahead and make more excuses on why you failed at designing a scratch build.
>>27635400Rotated the turbo flange how?
>>27635402So the exhaust port wasn't pointing at the fucking firewall (?)You literally mounted it with neutral/zero base x/y/z axes without any thought of how the next component would fit.Your designs in general are very linear, like you're just snapping Legos together. Your spacial relation skills suck.
>>27635551>So the exhaust port wasn't pointing at the fucking firewallThat’s how literally every turbo is mounted That’s why down pipes exist, that’s why they’re called downpipesThat’s exactly how my dodge Cummins and my Mercedes looked from the factory, and every other diesel mounted longitudinally Have you never seen a turbo vehicle before?
>>27635551>You literally mounted it with neutral/zero base x/y/z axes Turbos have to be mounted on axis with the crankshaft and the oil drain must be within 10 degrees of vertical according to Holset’s install guidelines, which apply to all turbos really If the turbo is mounted outside those angles the oil won’t drain correctly and it will fail
>>27635753The engine has a natural 5 degree tilt backwards to promote proper oil distribution in the oil pan and driveline angles and the turbo must not lean on the axis of the crankshaft in longitudinal install more than 6 degrees per holset install guidelines
>>27635753>Turbos have to be mounted on axis with the crankshaft They don’t have to be on axis but on 99% of all installs they are, they can be off axis but they must still follow guidelines for proper oil drainage which means mounting them aiming directly at the firewall 99% of the time which is why it looks like it does, for everyone not just me
Now think REALLY HARD for a minute here and remember theres 3 fucking dimensions in this universe- explain to me why that 10 degree max angle means the turbo had to be mounted perpendicular to the firewall
>>27635782It must be within 10 degrees on 2 separate axis, the oil drain MUST be within 10 degrees of vertical, you’ll notice every turbo is mounted this wayHere’s some more examples that are exactly the same as mine from just googling “diesel down pipe”That’s why my Mercedes and Cummins both look exactly the same way
>>27635786Turbo mounting guidelines are strict and must be followed which is why “downpipes” exist instead of just aiming the outlet of the turbo downwards The pipe has to make a sharp bend to avoid the firewall and get under the truck
>>27635786>>27635796Crazy how every down pipe in these pics looks almost identical to the one I made>>27635150Almost like they’re all following the same inherent rules that must be followed for a longitudinal mount diesel truck
>>27635776
>>27635824That’s not a truck and that’s still following the same oil drain guidelines Some turbos can go further like 15 degrees but holset specifically states 6 degrees of lean back on the axis of the crank when mounted longitudinal The turbo is mounted there on that install because packaging doesn’t allow it anywhere else but there unless he wants it in the passenger seat or trunk
>>27635824That’s also similar to how I mounted my turbo in my turbo LS Volvo 240, but I put mine off to the side in the passenger fender where the battery used to go
>>27635801You can not only rotate it but also move it forward/backwards and up/down.But once again you have no actual knowledge or experience to guide you through a custom setup so you wind up with that trash.There's a giant void between that engine and fenderwell with 100 different locations to mount that turbo but instead of accepting you made a mistake and redoing it you just continued on.
>>27635849Yeah you can rotate it, it’s called clocking the turbo, that’s literally the only adjustability you get to maintain the 10 degree vertical oil drain requirement Everything else is determined by mounting You keep posting V8s, show me some examples of longitudinal i4 and i6 and we will start to see some similarities There’s no reason to mount the turbo away from the manifold in my case, that would be a ton of unnecessary piping that would heat my engine bay and cost money and complicate batter placement, air filter placement, cooling hose and intercooler placement etcI’ve done a ton of swaps, including turbo LS swaps like you keep posting for some reason How about you post some of your own swaps for us to see
>>27635849>There's a giant void between that engine and fenderwellThe AC compressor goes directly under the turbo and takes up the entire void there btw, it’s just not installed in the pics
>>27635872Why argue with a wrenchlet. Why bother.
>>27635878Because I’m bored mostly also bumps the thread
>>27635796>it HAS to he mounted like this.Post pic of completely different mounting setup>>27635836>I mounted it like that in my other carHow fucking high are you right now?
>>27635883It follows guidelines in both cases?The difference is packaging related because v8 in tight bay

>>27635953So you're all talk, got it.
>>27635934Fun fact:The guy who built the prototype for Mazda did so in his garage.Once everything was dialed in and performance goals were met it was reverse engineered and all the jigs and fixtures were made after cutting up the car.There was only 1 set.I'd precut all chassis components and make bulkheads, rollbars, down tubes etc for a 30 car run then build the chassis.Each chassis took about 12 hours.
